High school orchestra in public performance for Christmas

Between stolen violins and cellos never purchased, I’m wondering just what Dec. 14 will sound like. “Children First?”

As a classical music lover, I am delighted to see the orchestral interest of young students, especially young minority students.

Too bad the program isn’t getting adequate financial support from higher up in the fine arts program or anywhere else. Bless the orchestra teachers who are trying to instill a love of fine music while continually moving the rock of Sisyphus.
